PLATINUM Sports Mark Award

The Priory are extremely proud to have maintained the GOLD SPORTS MARK award for 5 years in a row. As a result we were awarded the PLATINUM SPORTS MARK AWARD!  

The Mayor of Merton Councillor Mary Curtin and our Chair of Governors Mr Andrew Mills came in to school to present our certificate and help celebrate our achievement.

The Sportsmark Gold award recognises those schools which show exceptional achievement, highly innovative schemes or outstanding progress in meeting their sporting aims.
